reticular connective tissue
Connective tissue, lymphatic tissue; used to make the framework of major organs
cuboidal means
cube shaped (square in 2D)
Histology is the study
of structure of tissues
simple means
one layer of cells
Stratified squamous epithelium
protection (skin)
fibrocartilage
provide strength and elasticity, knee
stratified means
more than one layer
blood
A connective tissue with a fluid matrix called plasma in which red blood cells, white blood cells, and cell fragments called platelets are suspended.
The four primary tissues of the body are
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous Tissue
dense IRREGULAR connective tissue
Found in dermis; provide strength and resistance to tear
simple columnar epithelium
Made up of a single layer of tall cells that fit closely together, like columns
adipose tissue
Tissue that stores fat, internal organs
pseudostratified means
appears to have many but only has one
skeletal muscle tissue
between bones in skeletal muscle, moves and stabilizes position of skeleton
transitional epithelium is
bladder
compact bone
cancellous bones, strength and protection
hyaline cartilage
common type of cartilage, found in nose, provides support and cushioning for tissues
Nervous tissue propagates
electrical impulses to carry information
the epithelial tissue covers
exposed surfaces and lines the internal passageways and chambers
elastic cartilage
external ear, provide strength and elasticity
the matrix is composed of?
fibrous proteins and ground substance
cardiac muscle
heart, circulates blood
The connective tissue fills
internals spaces and provides structural support, it also stores energy
simple cuboidal epithelium
single layer of cube shaped cells
simple squamous epithelium is a
single layer of flat cells
areolar connective tissue
soft packaging material that cushions and protects body organs
nervous tissue
spinal cord, allows conduction and integration of information via electrical impulses
cartilage is?
stiff connective tissues with a flexible matrix
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
straight tubular glands
columnar means
tall, slender rectangles (like columns)
dense regular connective tissue
tendons and ligaments, transfers force to bones
A smear is tissue
that is rubbed across a slide, like blood
squamous means
thin and flat
cross section or transverse is
tissue cut across
longitudinal section is
tissue cut on its long axis
muscle tissue contracts
to produce movement
smooth muscle
walls of blood vessels, moves food, urine
